Michel Platini will be without his closest adviser at UEFA as he seeks the FIFA presidency while embroiled in the Swiss investigation into corruption in the global governing body.
Kevin Lamour, who heads Platini’s office, has started a pre-planned leave of absence with no date set for his return, UEFA said Thursday.
“It had been agreed several months ago that Kevin would take a leave of absence at the end of September after the executive committee meeting in Malta,” UEFA said in a statement to The Associated Press. “The duration of the leave has not yet been confirmed.”
It comes as Platini pursues his campaign to succeed Sepp Blatter as FIFA president in the emergency election in February.
